A novel approach for web development: A schedule management system using GAE/Go

In this paper, we discuss an approach used to develop a schedule management system which is manageable at low cost. It is designed using Google App Engine (GAE) and the Go programming language. The system is available for general purposes. GAE provides the execution environment, database called BigTable, and development tools. Developers can concentrate on writing applications because they can skip traditional construction of the development environment. GAE supports Python, Java, Go and PHP. Python and Java are in common use. Go is considered as a promising language because it is designed for ease of programming, and has modern features such as a garbage-collector and built-in support for concurrency. Employing this approach, we developed the system in a short span of time because server or database management are not necessary. System development on the cloud environment is still not common compared to traditional way, but this technology has many advantages, crucial for modern IT business.
